Mercedes A45 AMG versus VW Golf R

There are great B-roads the breadth of Britain. So we’re using the new VW Golf R and Merc A45 AMG to investigate some of them...

We finally roll into Aberystwyth at 5.15pm, having covered 406 miles on our B-road journey across Britain. Best road? Probably the one that wasn’t a B-road at all, the mountain road from Rhayader. But, to be fair, every B-road we touched was worth discovering – they’re just endlessly inventive, fascinating ways of getting around, demanding more of you and the car than bigger roads, but rewarding way, way more in return. Best car? You could pull that one both ways.
